Hi, I’m thinking of purchasing a crop a dile, but I want it for inserting snaps….like the kind that that you would use to close a coin purse, or adhere two pieces of fabric together, or to make oneies (sp)( the one piece baby undershirt that snaps at the crotch.) Do you know if the crop a dile can do this? I’ve watched many, many how to videos, and the demonstrations all mention “snaps” but I can’t find one that actually shows how to do it. Thanks for any information you might be able to give me, or if you could point me in the right direction for me to do research. Thanks in advance… Brandy Cox is an Independent Stampin' Up!

The Crop-A-Dile is Ideal for Punching: Paper, Tin, Leather, Plastic, Chipboard, Acrylic, Fabric, Wood and Poly We got a gromet tool from harbor freight. I wasn't happy with it because it hurt my hands and didn't always punch all the way through with the grommet. We were putting grommets in tags we laminated. It had a hard time getting through the lamination. This thing is WAY better than the harbor freight one. It punches through easily and doesn't hurt my palms because I do not have to press as hard. Totally worth the money. Highly recommend if you want something that doesn't hurt your hands after a few uses. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!
